I find this position incredibly ignorant. I have no idea what kind of filter one needs to apply to reality to not see the growing signs of fascism all around.

The comparison to Nazism displays, in my estimation, an ignorance of the true evil of the holocaust. The mere attempt to compare that evil with the awful situation of the last few weeks diminishes the significance of the holocaust to the level of — politics.

So you do not observe growing support for right-wing, populist parties? And no increase in authoritarian governing styles in Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and the US?

I’m willing to be educated; this is what my dictionary says about fascism

Hey Stefan, suggesting that rightwing Hungarian or Poland governments are some evidence of growing fascism is like me saying that your boss or EU is an evidence of growing communism. The latter scares my way more.

We can debate when, exactly, the term “fascism” becomes applicable. But I don’t think it’s reasonable to deny there’s growing nationalism and anti-democratic, authoritarian tendencies in those countries. Not sure who my “boss” refers to.
